BASILISK LIZARD
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Basiliscus plumifrons
HABITAT: Tropical rain forest of Central America.
CONSERVATION STATUS: Least Concern
FUN FACT:
The lizards are called the Jesus Lizard because of their ability to rapidly move across water surfaces by moving their back legs in a churning motion and using splayed feet to slap the water which creates air pockets that prevent them from sinking.
